abstract: A 33-year-old woman with cryoglobulinaemia developed acute hydrocephalus 20 h after lumbar myelography using the water-soluble contrast medium iotrolan. After a ventricular drainage, she was free of symptoms and the hydrocephalus resolved. The development of acute hydrocephalus after myelography has not been reported previously.
